Jelly Bean RAZR/MAXX Christmas 2012 Update?

I haven't been able to keep up on this thread much but for clarification you have to be on .211 not .215 to install Jelly Bean right? I am stock and unrooted.

That is correct. If you want root on jelly bean, you need to root and protect before upgrading because there Is no root method as of now. Foxkat has a instructional thread for doing this here

Thank you, I just actually started reading everything and understand now. I do believe I will wait for the update to come OTA, really don't want to risk screwing my only phone up. Thanks again!

I see. Thank you. Soooo....could I install an updated version of busy box and superuser w/updated binary? Seems that us the only thing u did not do right. Also, I thought you had to be rooted to use sqlite and change entitlement... is this true?

^^^ this is beyond my current android knowledge so rather than risk leading you three wrong way I will defer to the smarter people Here

Yeah, it did the same thing for me too. In some cases, I have four of each contact, especially my favorites. I spent about an hour last night going through them and deleting the duplicates.

You are correct, root to change entitlement. And yes, rooting will enable you to install SU and BB.

Where is Sleep Mode on this JB? Used to hold the power button to select Sleep on ICS. I don't see it anymore.

How is the new voice thing? If you hold search down and ask it questions??

Think that option was done away with, my girlfriends MAXX HD doesn't have it either.
